What are the symptoms of urinary tract infection in men?

Although women are more susceptible to urinary tract infections, the symptoms of men are much more severe than those of women. Therefore, male friends must not ignore urinary tract infections. They should take preventive measures against urinary tract infections and learn about the symptoms of male urinary tract infections in detail so that they can seek medical treatment in time when they find similar symptoms. The specific symptoms of male urinary tract infections are as follows:

(1) Symptoms of male urinary tract infection: Male urinary tract infection is divided into two categories: urinary tract irritation symptoms (frequent urination, urgency, pain, and difficulty urinating) and obstructive symptoms (delayed urination, nocturia, slow urine flow, and dripping). Most patients with urinary tract infection will experience urinary tract irritation symptoms. It is generally believed that if obstructive symptoms occur suddenly and are accompanied by bacteriuria, it may reflect prostate infection or inflammatory enlargement. In addition, bacteriuria can cause infection of the prostate, epididymis, seminal vesicles, or testicles, and local symptoms can be used for diagnosis. In the early stage of chronic renal failure caused by chronic pyelonephritis, polyuria may occur, and in the later stage, oliguria or anuria may occur.

(2) Signs: Physical examination is of certain significance for suspected urinary tract infection. Male urinary tract infection may cause abnormal changes in urine, such as bacteriuria, purulent urine, hematuria and pneumaturia. Through inspection and palpation of the external genitalia, it is possible to judge whether there are symptoms of male urinary tract infection, such as urethral discharge, erythema of the urethral orifice, glans inflammation, penile injury, epididymal or testicular enlargement, tenderness and inguinal lymph node enlargement. Rectal examination and palpation of the prostate, when there is acute bacterial prostatitis, the prostate is enlarged and tender. Low back pain is a common clinical symptom, and kidney and perirenal diseases are one of the common causes of low back pain.

I believe that through this article you have a detailed understanding of the symptoms of male urinary tract infection. Many men are embarrassed to go to the hospital for treatment when they suffer from urinary tract infection, thinking that this is a very shameful thing. This kind of mentality is absolutely unacceptable. Only active and correct treatment is the best way to get rid of male urinary tract infection. I hope all male patients can recognize this.
